Summer is a great time to have fun and go places. The thing i would like most would be to go to the beach or a park, somewhere you can just cool off. Most of the time people are advised to stay in the house because of the heat, but i think you should get out as much as possible. Does anybody else like to get out during summer?

Besides during a heat wave, I enjoy going for walks and going to the pool. I also like to visit museums, which are always nice and cold. I love to go get an ice cream treats.

Summer in my home country is from June to August. The weather can be warm and the sky blue or the day can be cool and rainy with a gray sky. In summer my favorite activity is a day out to a place that is pleasant to visit. Like today I met up with a friend in Cheddar. I would like to take the train down to a seaside that is about three hours ride away. It has a yellow sandy beach, some pretty gardens and a superb shopping area.

My all time favorite summer activity is to go to the beach for a picnic! I love grilling and having a bar-b-q. I also enjoy walking through our state parks :) I love being outside when we have an activity planned. I just like doing things, whether it's walking, visiting the state parks, or going to the beach with my family.

Well in india there is lot of heat and its relly difficult to go out after 10a.m.But in the evening i try to go out with my friends for an ice cream to cool things off.In noon time its really impossible to go out due to the heat otherwise we could fall ill so easily.So in the evening we have a small get together and we chat together sitting in a park or resturant.

I can't help but to comment on this one! I love the great outdoors. My husband loves the great outdoors. Over time we came up with this bright idea to own a "camping" spot in North Central Minnesota. No cabin, no dock just a travel trailer, boat, shed, most of the conveniences of home and a fire pit. Most people don't realize the cost of lake property and cabin can be high. As time goes on the dock will be too much work to maintain. Oh ya we are putting up a small guest house so we will have two extra places for people to stay the night. Taxes are low and we are part of a gated community so there is a swimming pool and hot tub for the Grand Children to enjoy. It's not much but cheap to maintain. Last year I counted 50 days spent there, this year will be 65. We spent a week of vacation there. We probably won't have to give it up until we are well into our 80s. Yes, a huge beach 3 miles away. Yes, WE LOVE SUMMER! Glad you asked!

Go to a local amusement or water park to catch some rays and for fun in the sun! It's fun,affordable, and all-day entertainment for everyone in the family. The summer is the most popular season when it comes to concerts and shows. See which of your favorite artists are touring this summer and if they are coming to a town near you. Or check out the music festivals and events that are happening in your area. My favorite summer activity is camping. Camping is the quintessential summer activity. Gather a group of friends and head out into the wilderness! Most states offer camping at their national and state parks for a reasonable price per night and most campgrounds have running water, electricity, and bathroom facilities. Go hiking, cook s'mores,sing around the campfire, and get in tune with nature!
